Working Note: *

**Sales in the year 2011-12 = 4,00,000

Profit for year 2011-12 = 2,00,000 = 50% of Sales.

Therefore, Profit for the Period Apr 01 to 30^th Sep = 50% of Sales of the same period

Share of Profit to be divided = 50% of Rs 1,20,000 = Rs 60,000

Chetan’s Share of Profit = 1/4^th of Rs 60,000 = Rs 15,000
